Even though they didn't play a game on Thursday, the Trail Blazers still managed to suffer another loss.

Reserve guard Elliot Williams dislocated his left shooting shoulder during the team's practice at Emerson College and will miss both tomorrow's game against the Boston Celtics and Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards.

His availability after that will be determined after he undergoes further evaluation early next week.

The rookie, who is averaging 3.7 points and 0.8 rebounds in 6.2 minutes per game, has been a part of coach Nate McMillan's guard rotation since the middle of February and has developed into a bright spot in an otherwise forgettable season for the Blazers.

Over the last nine games, Williams has scored 52 points in 71 minutes and is shooting 56.4 percent from the field.
